Attention party planners....is this enough food?!

Dd's birthday party is next Saturday and I am so worried that I don't have enough food and am forgetting things. We will have 70 people (10 of which are kids) and this is what we ordered:
1 full tray chicken franchise
1 full tray penne a la vodka
1 full try eggplant rollatine
1/2 tray sausage and peppers
1/2 tray chicken Marsala
6 foot hero
3 foot veggie hero
All salads with heroes
1 tray salad
We also have chips/dips
12 bottles of soda, 2 cases of water, and juice boxes
1/2 sheet of cake, 40 cupcakes, cookies, fruit salad
Is this enough? Am I forgetting anything?

That sounds like plenty of food. Do you have something specifically for the kids like chicken fingers, fries, and/or Mac n cheese?

Plenty of food. For 40 people I had 2 trays of hot, sandwich platter and cold salads. SO you should have PLENTY of food. I even had a ton of leftover and could have cut down.

I ran out of water but it was also a 90+ degree day so people were opting for water over other drinks

That sounds like a lot of food and you will probably have a ton of leftovers but itts better to have more than not enough. I would suggest having more water and less soda. Unless you know that your guests are big soda drinkers.
